The only thing worse than the house not selling...
...is the house selling.
A couple from CA (yep...that's right. I sold my house to Californians!) looked at the house on Sat morning 2 weeks ago. Offer on Mon morning, countered Mon afternoon, under contract on Tues the 17th. And, they're cash buyers so they wanted a quick closing.
We are REALLY scrambling to get everything done so we can close on Dec 3rd. Major PITA but, obviously, it's a good thing and will be over soon enough.
LESSONS LEARNED:
We initially contracted with Trelora to sell the house. Trelora is a flat-rate broker. I don't have any complaints with Trelora at all. Very good company with very good service. Problem is traditional agents won't show the home. We had about 4 showings in 7 months thru Trelora. We relisted with a traditional agent. Listing went "live" on Fri at about 4:30pm. By 5pm we had two showings scheduled for Sat and 2 more for Sun. Under contract by Tues.
